Biography
British actor Tom Clegg was a longtime conveyer of brusque, brutish characterizations. Clegg's serious side was seen in such major productions as
Moby Dick (1956) and
This Sporting Life (1963). In a lighter vein, he was a semi-regular in the zany
Carry On films of the 1960s. After 1970, Tom Clegg confined his activities to directing films and TV shows; arguably his best effort along these lines was the
Roger Daltrey starrer
McVicar (1980), which he also scripted. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
